Govt fixes helmet prices after dealers overcharge motorcyclists

LAHORE – The city district government in a meeting with Auto Union has fixed the price for both the local and the imported helmets.

During the meeting, the authorities have decided to fix the price of local and imported helmets to Rs500 and Rs1150 respectively.

The step is taken to curb the helmet prices that were hiked after the Lahore High Court (LHC) passed the order to take strict actions against the violators.

After the directives of LHC, the city traffic police launched a crackdown against the violators and a fine of Rs1000 has been imposed on violators.

Moreover, strict action will be taken against the shopkeepers who will be found selling the helmets for more than the standard rates.

Violations will be detected with the help of CCTV cameras installed throughout the city and if someone violates the traffic rules and regulation, an e-ticket fine will be generated and will be sent to the violator via courier service.
